What problem does it solve?
Read-only access to external repositories configured in your environment, enabling cross-repo context without permitting modifications.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Constrained access to additional repos via settings, allowing code references, patterns, and documentation lookups.
- Navigate and read files across local repositories using absolute paths with Glob and Grep, while preserving a strict read-only policy.
- Use case: reference a function or pattern from a neighboring project to inform development or debugging without duplicating data.
Quick Start
Configure external repositories in .claude/settings.json under additionalDirectories, then invoke the cross-repo read tool to access files using absolute paths from those repositories.
